Caleb waited 45 years for a promise. When he finally got the chance to collect it, he didn't ask for the easy plot — he asked for the hardest territory in the land.In Week 7 of Uncharted, we put God's track record on trial. We look at Joshua 14 and 21 and ask: has the wait made you bitter, or has it made you better, bolder? Because the same God who kept every promise to Israel hasn't forgotten the one He made you either.

Five enemy kings join forces. Israel is exhausted, outnumbered, and already fighting a battle they never should have signed up for. And in the middle of it, Joshua prays one of the boldest prayers in all of Scripture — he asks God to stop the sun.In this message from our Uncharted series in the book of Joshua, we dig into Joshua 10 and ask a question every one of us needs to answer: what audacious, impossible-without-God prayer have you stopped praying? We'll look at why bold prayers can only be prayed with humility, why God invites us into partnership rather than doing everything for us, and why the prayers we fail to pray in the ordinary moments often create the crises that require the extraordinary ones.Whether you're walking through something that feels beyond fixing or you've just gotten comfortable praying safe, predictable prayers, this message will challenge you to bring your biggest asks to the God who is able to do "infinitely more than we might ask or think" (Ephesians 3:20).

Jericho fell without Israel ever lifting a weapon. So why does tiny, insignificant Ai suddenly defeat them? In week 5 of our Uncharted series through the book of Joshua, Cory unpacks one of the most sobering chapters in the whole book — the story of Achan, hidden sin, and a nation that has to learn the hard way that God will not bless compromise.One man's secret sin in a tent. Thirty-six lives lost. And a truth that cuts against everything our culture tells us: private sin has public consequences.This message walks through the pattern sin always follows — see, want, take, hide — and asks a question worth sitting with: is there anything hidden in your life right now that's quietly costing you God's best? But this isn't a message meant to shame you. It's a message about what happens the moment hidden things come into the light: confession isn't the end of the story, it's the doorway back into the blessing that was there all along.

Join in on Elder Craig Bodenschatz' sermon in week 3 of the Uncharted series. The walls of Jericho didn't fall because of Israel's strategy — they fell because God fought the battle. In this message from Joshua 6, Craig Bodenschatz unpacks what it looks like to trust and obey God even when His methods make no sense to us.Six days of silent marching. No battering rams. No siege machines. Just obedience. Craig walks through five ways we can depend on God to fight our battles for us — remembering His past faithfulness, resting in the truth that He's already secured the victory, recognizing it's His battle to fight, finding grace even in the walls we face, and trusting that His ways aren't our ways.Whether you're facing a financial wall, a broken relationship, a health struggle, or a battle no one else can see, this message is a reminder: the fight isn't yours. Be still. Trust. Obey. The victory has already been declared.

Is there something you know God is calling you to do — but you just haven't done it yet? A conversation you've been avoiding. A step you've been putting off. A river you can see but won't cross.In this message from our Uncharted: A Study in Joshua series, we look at two people in Joshua 2 and 3 who faced that exact moment — and what happened when they finally stepped in.Rahab had no safety net. The priests had no guarantee. But both of them stepped out in faith — and neither of them regretted it.The miracle doesn't come before the step. It comes after.Whatever your Jordan River is — this message is for you.

When is the last time you did something that genuinely scared you?In Week 1 of Uncharted, we begin our journey through the book of Joshua and discover a truth we desperately need in today's world: courage isn't the absence of fear—it's trusting God enough to take the next step anyway.As Joshua stands on the edge of the Promised Land following the death of Moses, God gives him a simple but powerful command: "Be strong and courageous." Why? Because the source of our courage isn't found in ourselves—it's found in the presence of God.If you're facing uncertainty, a difficult decision, a step of faith, or a season where the future feels unclear, this message is for you.You don't have to be fearless to be faithful. You just have to trust that the One who goes before you is bigger than what lies ahead.

Jesus calls the disciples to follow him... and guess what, they are ordinary people like you and me. And that matters more than you think.

John the Baptist preached the coming of Jesus, not as a campaign strategy but as a kingly declaration. He was letting the world know that the King has arrived.

The Lord is my Shepherd... we have all heard it, but what does it MEAN? And how does it help me not fear? Listen in this week to Casey Jordan talk all about it.

What do you do when you are between a rock and a hard place? Or a sea and an army? What did God command Israel to do when they were in this spot? The answer may be surprising...

In Wk. 1 we look at Israel. They are being sent into captivity and God's number one commandment to them is to not be afraid. What do you do when your fear is louder than your faith?

What do you give your life to? Is that thing something that will last? Are you sure? In this sermon we talk about that very thing, giving our lives over to something that will last for thousands of years.

Jesus ran in circles, taught in circles, led circles, and deployed circles—small groups that is. Specifically a group of 12 men. He valued connecting in circles and we should too. And if we are going to do the things he calls us to do like love one another, encourage one another, and forgive one another, it is going to happen in circles. So, join a circle (small group) today at Redemption.

You don't need to be shamed by receiving a long and unattainable list of things that will make you “more hospitable.” You need to know how to do practical hospitality in every day life. That's what we talk about here. Tune in for 5 ways to be more hospitable in your everyday life.

Mephibosheth was a man forgotten by the world, but sought after by King David. He was crippled and living in the desert, but soon he would be in the palace and restored. In this sermon you will hear what hospitality does for those like Mephibosheth and how you are called and commanded to be people of hospitality.

God has decided that you have immense value. That is why the shepherd sought after the sheep, found the coin, and welcomed the son. (…Or something like that.) Just know that God will stop at nothing to find you because of one 4-letter-word, “love.” Listen in to the final week of the sermon series The Way.

Do you have good community? The type of community that leads you closer to Christ? Next question, are you an addition to that community or simply a wallflower? How is your church different because of you? Think through these questions and many others with us this week.
